That was possibly the most anticlimactic announcement for a "new" console I've ever seen.
This was not the reveal.... and NX?

If I don't have a 4K TV and have no interest in VR would it be better to just get a regular PS4? Will the difference to non-NEO games be that noticeable with the upgraded innards of the Neo?

Ben's got an opinion.
The comments on these articles never cease to amaze me. Calling Ben a Sony fanboy? Did they not read his articles around the time these consoles launched?
Why even admit to its existence and give it a soft-reveal?
They merely said it exists. They didn't give a detailed breakdown with specs and a release date
E3 stands for Electronic Entertainment Expo. It has, traditionally, always been about games and hardware, from the very first E3.
Why even say it exists though? They could have said at the E3 they're working on something and will have more to show at a later date.

Did you even read the article ?This is going to kill the hype. No point getting excited for all these games when we still have to wait on the new system to play them on.
Things have changed if you have been keeping up due to other conferences take precedent, and even their own events now.
Not a single console or hardware has been revealed at E3 since the Wii U I believe.

The word is Scorpio will at least be mentioned in some capacity at E3.
Not even close to the same situation. PS4 has sold through more than the Wiiu and Xbox 1 combined. Nintendo is fading in the home console space, they needed to bring the noise. Sony only needs to keep showing games and support for their well-performing console.
Still not convinced a stand alone nintendo event wont accomplish the same thing. Hell...isnt that how Sony unveiled the ps4 to the world?
The concepts of gens doesnt exist anymore.
Meh. Not feeling this.
That also doesnt have a proper reveal.This was not the reveal.... and NX?
Fuck it, just release everything in 2017, that'll give us a standard 5 year console cycle.
well,that's a good start for E3.
Microsoft,you have the ball right now.
Biennial then, my bad. No need to dismiss me based on semantics.No one uses the phone market as an example for PS4 Neo as a platform, at least I hope not.
PS4s are not sold with contracts. Completely different ballgame. And this is not "biannual."
Biannual means twice a year upgrading.
Like really, come on now. Wish people would really look up the words they use sometimes.
Then why confirm it the way Sony have today?
Sure, as long as you don't care about alienating a lot of low income consumers.Releasing a system every three years doesn't seem unreasonable.
Wait, what? There's a chance that not all games will work on the newer model? What!?
I see the speculation in this thread, but still, this statement is misleading and needs to be clarified.
Why is there a cynical assumption that Sony is "scared" of Scorpio and pro-actively reacting to an unannounced- paper spec- console with target performance number- set to release much later?
If anything- it's quite obvious why Sony wouldn't overload their conference with information. For all the pomp and circumstance from critics that for some reason still regurgitate the tried and true hyperbole: "PlayStation 4 has no exclusives!" - this E3 will be the one to try and challenge that rhetoric if every thing we're being told comes to fruition.
The last three years, Sony's first party studio output has been titled. Studios have rebooted, entire projects have been canned, priorities have been shifted, and heads have rolled. However, this is the year where we are officially seeing: Bend, Guerilla, Japan, Media Molecule, Polyphony, Santa Monica, AND Sucker Punch with some sort of reveal planned. The most important of which is - there is no "timed exclusivity", "sequel on another platform"; "paid to be exclusive" shenanigans..... AND not to mention the myriad of second party projects Sony has- this show seems to be the most "exclusive" heavy PlayStation conference yet.
AND ALL PEOPLE WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS NEO? Why? The best way to disrespect your first party send-offs is to divert the media's attention to an entirely new box.
Why did Nintendo confirmed existence of NX so early? Because if they did not, media would rip them appart after that mobile game news announcement. We have few days to think about this, news waves will pass, and then we can enjoy awesome games on E3 [that will not get generational leap on Neo].Then why confirm it the way Sony have today?
No, that was NX. House at least confirmed many things about Neo, Nintendo said the codename and nothing else.worst reveal ever!!
Biennial then, my bad. No need to dismiss me based on semantics.
And yes, I've seen people in this thread comparing this market model to smartphones.

I'd bet you a pretty penny they do when the next console that comes out is a PS5.
What are you talking about? These consoles will play the same games, they aren't alienating anyone.Sure, as long as you don't care about alienating a lot of low income consumers.
Great decision. Sony knows best.
Wait for MS to show their hand and then pounce!
Gen started in 2012.that would be 4 years tho
me neither. this is depressing (for me).Meh. Not feeling this.
I'm all for promoting this narrative in a completely non-serious fashion if it means more silly Scorpio gifs and less fan anxiety and system wars crap.
Sadly I don't think the world really cares about NX. The mainstream seems to have forgotten about Nintendo. Nintendo would have had the opportunity to show Zelda off on the NC and really get the ball rolling while news outlets were all over it. The event will get coverage, but there's no telling how it'll all play out.
Gen started in 2012.
Not sure if already posted, but there is more in the article on the motivations for this, and the kind of model they seem to be projecting.

So the model may not be one of endless generations as much as revisions within generations at a small number of technological inflection points.
Also:

The investment required to develop the new PS4 is already accounted for in Sonys latest financial results, he added./QUOTE]

I think MSFT will mention something briefly about 'Scorpio' in their plans as well.
I think it will be out by this Holiday season, if pushed back to 2017, it is to take advantage of a better CPU solution then.
What makes you say that?
They are not launching a new console platform. They do not need as much 'time in advance'.
